KEVIN JEROME JACKSON, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 184th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. 1089224 and 1091222
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Because no brief had been filed for appellant, we abated this appeal and ordered a hearing in the trial court. Among the issues the trial judge was to consider was whether appellant desired to prosecute the appeal. The trial court conducted the hearing on September 24, 2008 and the supplemental record of that hearing has been filed in this Court. At the hearing, appellant stated that he wished to withdraw this appeal.
We order the appeal reinstated. Appellant has not filed a written motion to withdraw the appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.2(a). However, given appellant's expressed desire to forego pursuit of his appeal, we conclude that good cause exists to suspend the operation of Rule 42.2(a) in this case in accordance with Rule 2. See Tex. R. App. P. 2. We have not yet issued a decision. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
The clerk of this Court is directed to issue the mandate. Tex. R. App. P. 18.1.
